The Recycled Gingham Jumpsuit

One of the fashions I have noticed the ladies about town are wearing this summer is the one piece jumpsuit and I love this look.



So when a friend of mine dropped off some cast offs, a two piece, gingham summer suit inspired me to create this...

from this...

So, what I did was..... I attached the top and bottom (obviously), reinserted the drawstring in the waist and added an elastic casing. I cut the top down across the underarm added elastic to the top of the shirt and shortened the legs to a walking shorts length. Voila, a summer jumpsuit.
